To-hit formula

Stuff like (Dex-10)/4 creates odd step functions where many stat gains are worthless but ones like 17->18 are gold. This is either an argument for multiplying all numbers (inc. the SDev) by 4 or for using floats instead of ints.---Chris (talk) 00:20, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Damage formula

Players will say bad words if you make them drop their equipment. It is quite likely to be missed in combat spam, and if it is it's a pain to find it. This is one of the reasons nightgaunts are hated in dNethack.---Chris (talk) 00:20, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
